No more books from Singapore?

caheaton · 04-12-2011, 02:22 AM

Hello, I visited the Singapore National Library website and noticed some changes in its configuration. I also noticed that even though I can still login, every time I try to access ebooks (or any other resource), I get a message telling me that this selection is not available outside of the library. I know that Overdrive was going to be making some changes to the contract to force libraries to enforce geographical limits on who can access the resources (in response to demands from Harper Collins)...I wonder if that is what is behind the changes at Singapore?

That link works...thank you! Some how the shorcut I had been using took me to a different page within their site.

Looks like it'll be a while...the book I'm waiting on shows me as #6 of 8 in the wait list. Sigh...
